They figured just not having to hear her is refund enough.
These right wing grifters have realized they can rip off conservative voters over and over again and they will just come back asking for more.
When a Springtime For Hitler scam works as intended.
Grifter gonna grift
I don’t have much sympathy for those who paid to hear this… …speak.
‘Read the fine print’ live and learn I guess. Why would anyone goto this to begin with?
Edit: or they didn’t but it was staged by superpac so it’s all black money and tax evasion
15k Australians paid money to listen to Candace Owens? That can’t be right.
Why would Aussies purchase tickets to see her when her visa was denied? That doesn’t seem smart
Anyone who gives money to Candace Owens gets exactly what they deserve.
Not really surprising, the government is pretty happy to refuse visas on character grounds when enough people bring it up. And she is the grifter’s grifter, truly.
Conservatives should be used to being scammed by now.
In Australia we call that an idiot tax
A fool and their money are soon parted
Good news for once
Dumb motherfuckers bought the tickets in the first place.
The only silver lining here is that apparently Owens got ripped off too. From the article“
„Owens herself says she is hundreds of thousands of dollars out of pocket and claims she was misled by the promoter, Rocksman, a company with links to the influential conservative lobby group Turning Point Australia.“
“None of the 15,000 ticket holders for conservative influencer Candace Owens’ cancelled Australian tour are expected to get their money back from the promoter, after it spent all its money then collapsed.
Owens herself says she is hundreds of thousands of dollars out of pocket and claims she was misled by the promoter, Rocksman, a company with links to the influential conservative lobby group [Turning Point Australia](https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2026/feb/02/turning-point-australia-rightwing-christian-politics).”
The tour was canceled because the promotor, Rocksman, went bankrupt.
>Rocksman collapsed with just 21 Australian cents in its bank account and will never refund Owens, her Australian ticket holders or other creditors, according to its liquidator’s statutory report to creditors, filed with Asic and dated 3 March
Grifter got grifted so turns to grifting to recover.
Grifters gonna grift
Help me understand why Candace Owens would even have any following in Australia?
I can’t even name a single song of hers.
I would spit out my coffee in surprise if this wasn’t the umpteenth time the rug has been pulled on these poor brain rotted lemmings
Wait, people pay *her*? LOL
That’s the feel-good story of the day. Thank you Guardian.
Candace Owens is a scammer, so why is anyone /surprisedpikachu after she scams them?
If you’re stupid enough to pay money you listen to Candice Ownes, I do not feel sorry for you when you get ripped off.
Future Trump University graduates.
Lol. They signed up to get conned. They got what they paid for.
That is hilarious and honestly a form of justice.
This worked out perfectly.
* 15,000 idiots who paid to see a right-wing podcaster are out their ticket prices.
* The promoter who decided that running this mess was a good idea went bankrupt.
* Candace Owens doesn’t get to speak.
* And a bunch of real working people who did some actual work in the initial setup of this got paid.
what 15,000 idiots bought ticket to see this dipshit?
As an Australian… GOOD. What were they all thinking???
The headline is a little misleading. The promoter may not be refunding the tickets because they’re bankrupt and literally don’t have any money anymore. But that doesn’t mean ticket holders aren’t getting their money back. When a promoter goes out of business, the obligation to refund goes up the food chain. The next likely bag holder is either a ticketing marketplace (if that’s how they were purchased) or the payments provider themselves will be on the hook (which is a risk the provider takes when onboarding a new client). At the very least, if the customer issues a chargeback, VISA or MC will pull that money back from someone in the food chain.
Wait…wasn’t Candace Owens BANNED from entering Australia after they revoked her visa a couple years back, due to all the inflammatory bullshit she spews? Sounds more like some promoter grifted Candace AND her followers, and took off with the money.
How do you not know someone is banned from entering your country, before paying money to see them speak in your country?
I guess “Conservatives” are universally uneducated, no matter the country of origin.
